I will fully admit that when it comes to sides, corn is one of my favourites.
I know it isn’t the super food that broccoli or kale is, but corn is good. Like… comfort-food, eat-out-of-the-can, possibly-lived-off-of-it-in-university good.
So when I stumbled upon Jamie Oliver’s recipe for stir fried corn, I knew that I had to try it and make it my own.
I thought about what would go well with corn, and immediately, I thought about adding a bit of heat. I used the Blue Dragon Chilli Coconut sauce to jazz up the kernels. Keep in mind, only one tablespoon will make a big difference. If you like a lot of heat, go for two. But make sure you taste-test as you cook.
- 1 can of corn niblets (or 1 cup frozen corn that has been thawed in hot water)
- 1 tbsp Blue Dragon Chilli Coconut Sauce
- 1/2 red pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Cilantro to garnish
- Heat up olive oil over medium/high heat
- Add corn and peppers - saute until corn is cooked and lightly browned
- Stir in Chilli Coconut Sauce until corn is coated; taste for heat
- Serve with cilantro
Serve this dish as a side for a bigger meal or put it on your salads and wraps. It’s a surprisingly delicious combination!

This is a great side dish idea. I would have never thought of mixing corn and coconut sauce. This must be delicious.
